The Law of Work Blog was launched in 2008, making this one of the longest running law blogs in Canada and the original law blog on work law and labour relations. Over the years, Law of Work Blog received many “CLAWBIE” awards as the top law blog by an academic in Canada, was honoured with the Fodden Award for the Best Law Blog in Canada, and in 2016 was among the inaugural class voted into the Canadian Law Blog Hall of Fame. Today, Law of Work blog is a forum on which I (and occasionally guest bloggers) publish short commentary on hot topics and current issues in work law and policy and labour relations. The blog posts complement and supplement my two text books, The Law of Work and Canadian Labour Relations: Law, Policy, and Practice. The entire library of posts from contributors to the Canadian Law of Work Forum will remain accessible and guest posts will still be welcomed. --Website description (by David Doorey, Professor, Work and Labour Relations)

This journal is the official journal for the Labor and Working-Class History Association. The labor question—who will do the work and under what economic and political terms?—beckons today with renewed global urgency. As a site for both historical research and commentary, Labor hopes to provide scaffolding for understanding the roots of our current dilemmas. Although the tradition from which the journal derives its energy has focused primarily on social movements and institutions based on industrial labor, Labor intends to give equal attention to other labor systems and social contexts (agricultural work, slavery, unpaid and domestic labor, informal sector, the professions, etc.). Its focus begins on the US experience but extends to developments across the “American” hemisphere and to other transnational comparisons that shed light on the American experience.

Open access publication from 2002 to 2014 of York University's Centre for Research on Work and Society. Its mission, as stated in its inaugural issue, was as follows: "Just Labour explores the complex ways new technologies, subcontracting, new management strategies, and emerging self-employment are undermining the traditional employee-employer relationships and disciplining workers. Just Labour investigates how union action has been subverted by the international integration of capital, the proliferation of precarious employment, the challenges of organizing marginalized workers, and the increasingly anti-union practices of employers and the state. Just Labour addresses the culture and activities of Canadian workers and their unions as they face new challenges. The journal will explore new ideas and seek out fresh approaches to solving problems. Just Labour brings the work of leading academics and trade union researchers to a broad readership in popular, accessible language."
